Beck looked to have the edge from the start. In fact, the opposite was true. When the Los Angeles Police Commission last week gave Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa the names of the finalists for the LAPD chief's job, it was hardly a foregone conclusion that Deputy Chief Charlie Beck would be the eventual winner.

The nominee for chief is supported by both the rank-and-file and civil rights advocates and will take command at a time of uncertainty in the department. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's selection of Charlie Beck to be L.A.'s new police chief elevates a 32-year veteran who is steeped in the traditions of the LAPD but has also won praise from civil rights activists for reforming the department and improving...

New LAPD chief Charlie Beck, left, and Tom Selleck, right. Or was it the other way around? This morning, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced he will tap Deputy Chief Charlie Beck as the newest head of the LAPD. While we all wish him luck, we are simply dumbstruck by the uncanny and positively eerie resemblance to Mr. Magnum, P.I. himself. Coincidence or underhanded push to increase film production...

The mayor envisions completion in 10 years instead of 30 and makes rail his top priority. His plan would need at least $10 billion in additional funds. If Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has his way, Los Angeles County will soon embark on a commuter rail building boom the likes of which the region has never seen.

Though the political perils of such a choice have lessened, Villaraigosa still must replace Chief William Bratton with someone who can continue Bratton's legacy of lowered crime and racial harmony. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will select a new police chief at a time when crime is declining and the city is enjoying a prolonged respite from racial strife, sparing him from the political perils...
